I bought a membership on both and tested each for a month. What they offer, their measured numbers and what their users say, next to each other, with my verdict on each at the end.
The scoreboard
HeraHaven leads on 3 of the 4 figures that decide most choices.
In short
| What they offer | ||
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | ▲Yes | ▲Yes |
| Entry paid plan | Free | $19.95/mo |
| Adult content | Filtered or limited | Filtered or limited |
| Features |
|
|
| Best for | Users who prioritize intelligent conversation quality and want an established AI companion with a track record | Users who prioritize high-quality image generation and emotionally deep chat over live voice stability |
| Not for | Users seeking explicit NSFW content, voice calls, image generation, or a mobile companion app | Those who need reliable live voice calling or responsive customer support |
| Operator | Pandorabots, Inc., now trading as ICONIQ (hi@iconiq.ai); created by Steve Worswick as Mitsuku | Vilala Limited |
| Pricing notes | Free tier available. No payment required to start. | 1 Month: $19.95. 12 Months: $79.80 (~$6.65/mo). Token purchases and cryptocurrency payments accepted. |
My take
Both give you a free tier, so you can try the chat on each before paying; expect message caps and few or no images until you upgrade. HeraHaven simply does more: immersive ai chat with memory, nsfw capability and image generation are on its list and not on Kuki AI's. More features is only better if you will use them.

The better value in each row is marked in green. Search visits and brand searches are DataForSEO estimates; Tranco and Chrome UX tiers are ranks, not visit counts.
My take
None of these ranks in the tracked positions for "ai girlfriend", so their places on this site come from all-traffic rank, and their visitors arrive by name, by ads or from app stores rather than from the category search. On size, HeraHaven is the busier site: 118,642 search visits a month worldwide, more than 85 times what Kuki AI gets (1,429). These are estimates of visits from Google only, so a site with apps or ads can be bigger than this shows. Brand searches are the loyalty line: 5,400 people a month type HeraHaven's name, against 390 for Kuki AI. A name people type on purpose is a site they come back to; a site with lots of visits and few brand searches is living on rankings it could lose. Kuki AI is the older domain (2020 against 2024), which counts for something in a category where sites close without notice.

“Users” is the balance of the YouTube reviews, Reddit threads and articles read for each brand page; “my test” is whether my own month on the site agreed with them.
My take
Users rate them about the same: 3 of 9 features positive for Kuki AI and 3 of 10 features positive for HeraHaven. Where they split, Kuki AI gets the better word on free tier. HeraHaven gets it on image generation. My own month did not always match the crowd: I disagreed with users on 2 points for HeraHaven, and each disagreement is spelled out on the brand page.

#42 on the ranking
HeraHaven makes the best images at the lowest annual price of any companion I have tested, and after a month with it I would still hesitate to recommend the company behind them.
